Myst V: End of Ages is a 2005 adventure video game, developed by Cyan Worlds, published by Ubisoft, directed by Rand Miller (pictured) and released for Macintosh and Windows PC platforms. The fifth installment in the Myst series, gameplay consists of navigating worlds known as "Ages" via the use of special books and items which act as portals. End of Ages replaces pre-rendered environments used in past games with worlds rendered in real-time 3D graphics, allowing players to freely navigate. It also includes multiple methods of navigation and an in-game camera. Additionally, the faces of actors were digitally mapped onto three-dimensional character models. End of Ages was positively received, despite complaints such as lessened interactivity compared to previous games and poorer graphics. After the game's release Cyan announced the end of software development and the layoff of most of its staff, but was able to rehire much of the development team a few weeks later. (Full article...)
